Feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart
I need you around for every day to start
I haven’t left you alone
There’s something about you, I stare in your eyes
And everything I’m looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall in you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again
Ohhhh (etc.)
We fought in a battle, nobody one
And now we face a mountain to be overcome
You can’t turn away, the past is said and done
I need us to carry on
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again
la la la la la, whoa (etc.)
You’ll try everything you never thought would work before
When you live, when you love, and you give them your all
You can always give up some more
Baby nothing means anything unless you’re here to share with me
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
Cause you’re always there in my dreams
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again
Ohh, la la la (etc.)
You again

The movie from the production line of Studio Ghibli, Neko no Ongaeshi is a light-hearted movie as digestible as chicken soup. Directed by Morita Hiroyuki, the movie is based on the manga Baron, Neko no Danshaku by Hiiragi Aoi, who is also the author of Mimi wo Sumaseba and its sequel Mimi wo Sumaseba: Shiawase na Jikan.
Neko no Ongaeshi is similar to the critically-acclaimed movie Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi by Miyazaki Hayao in the sense that it begins in normal Japan and shifts to a parallel world later in the story. There, the similarity stops and a whole new adventure begins.
The story is about a typical Japanese girl Haru who seems to have a nack in getting into mishaps. One day, she saves a cat from being run over by a truck.
The cat turns out to be the prince of the Cat Kingdom and, in return of the favor, the king has decreed that the whole kingdom tries its best to repay her kindness. Unfortunately for her, none of the 'gifts' were fitting for a human, and to add to her troubles, she was also decreed to be married to the prince that she saved.
The movie in general borders along humor and fantasy, leaning more towards the former. Haru's naiveness and the antics of the cats will definitely put a smile and a laugh into your mouth. No one is evil and there are no bad guys. In fact, the worst character is simply an over-eccentric father whose acts seem to be more on the naughty side than evil.

The storyline is simple yet entertaining, the animation splendid as is the trademark of Studio Ghibli. The music is enlightening, although one might notice, if observant enough, that some of the music pieces are recycled from the movie Mimi wo Sumaseba. The theme song, done by Tsuji Ayano, has such a great feel-good factor that it will remain playing in your head long after you come out of the theatre.
It's hard not to like this movie, and although it is definitely not in the same level as movies like Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa and Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa, you definitely would not want to miss this movie either. If may not be a Miyazaki movie, but it is still a Ghibli movie, and that alone is reason enough to watch it.
taken fromcomplete story n captured movie

as we know .dat format (used for VCD format that created from mpg 1) has unclear motion video. some people said that this is the worst video format that people used in the world to be shown in tv media but it famouse in asia.
this format compressed the video too much that sometimes makes this video can't be reproduce in other format. i mean, we still can reproduce this video using video editor (ex. Adobe Premiere), but most problem we'll get some first frames repeated two times in the result of beginning this video that we exported from video editor (ex. adobe premiere).
previouse days i've got new idea about, how to make new format from vcd. mostly i just rename .dat file type to .mpg then edit this file in video editor. or as i told you before in this blog, i use vcdgear to convert .dat to .mpg in the right way. rename .dat file to .mpg just a trick i use in order to my adobe premiere can import this file to the project. :lol:
then, what the idea ?
it is very simple. first prepare your vcd/dvd player. plug in the video cable (most is RCA cable) from vidoe out in your vcd/dvd player to your video in of your TV. then plug in the video cable from your video out in your TV to your capture card in your computer. make sure your tv programed in video setting. prepare your capture software, play it after u capture it. thats all!
VCD/DVD Player -> TV -> Captured Card -> Capture Software
you'll get better video in better format n better picture than the source .dat file.
as we know, vcd format has 352.288 pixel in PAL and 352.240 pixel in NTSC. from this way we'll get avi format in 720.576 in PAL or depend on what setting we setted up.
easy huh ?
